I remember typing drills, too, and I loved them. Nothing can compare to a classroom of typewriters all in unison. My typing teacher had the class type to music to develop a smooth rhythm to our typing. All of the typewriters in my school had caps on the keys, so there was no reason to peek. However, a large chart was on display at the front of the room with the keyboard. When typing was phased out for “keyboarding,” at the school where I worked, I snagged one of the old typing books – the kind that was propped up on a metal stand/easel. How I wish I had one of the stands, too.

Did your class have fun challenges to create pictures using tabs and specific keys?
